In this stylish supernatural horror story, Hitch (Robert Burke),
a mysterious loner, wanders the deserts of the African nation of Nambia
as he searches for the lost and suicidal. Hitch is wanted by the police
in connection with the death a woman whose blood was used in a strange
magic ceremony. A shaman consulted by the police and a pathologist
investigating the killing believe that Hitch is a "Dust Devil," an evil
spirit who can shift shape at will, taking the form of a man when it's
convenient. Meanwhile, Hitch encounters Wendy (Chelsea Field),
a woman who is despondent after the collapse of her marriage. Wendy
gives him a ride along a lonely highway, and later that night, as Wendy
contemplates suicide, Hitch waits patiently outside her door. The next
day, Wendy runs into Hitch again and casually looks through his bag to
discover that it's filled with human fingers. Convinced that Hitch is no
harmless eccentric, she tries to escape, but she discovers that he's
difficult to get away from; meanwhile, Mark (Rufus Swart), Wendy's ex-husband, is searching for her, convinced that she's fallen victim to foul play. Dust Devil
has been released in a number of different forms; the original European
cut ran 125 minutes, while the American version, which features
redubbed voices and a different narration, ran only 87. The "final cut"
prepared by director Richard Stanley, meanwhile, is 103 minutes in
length.
